SO TODAY ON THE VERY FIRST THANKFUL THURSDAY...I AM THANKFUL FOR LAS VEGAS...

OH MY GOSH..VEGAS IS MY FAVE!!!..IT'S ONE OF THOSE PLACES YOU EITHER LOVE OR JUST PLAIN HATE..THERE'S NO IN BETWEEN..AT LEAST FOR ME THERE'S NOT!! I MEAN HOW CAN U NOT LOVE THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS??..YOU CAN STAY UP AS LATE AS YOU WANT....SLEEP IN AS LATE AS YOU WANT..ORDER ROOM SERVICE ANYTIME YOUR LITTLE HEART DESIRES...SOME OF THE COOLEST SHOPPING..OH AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU..BUT I'M A PEOPLE WATCHER..SCOTTJ IS TOO....AND YOU CAN DO SOME SERIOUS PEOPLE WATCHING IN VEGAS....WE HAVE A GAME WE PLAY WHERE WE LOOK FOR PEOPLE THAT REMIND US OF PEOPLE WE KNOW..STRANGE I KNOW..BUT IT'S A CRAZY GAME WE LIKE TO PLAY..AND WHOEVER HOLLERS OUT A PERSON FIRST GETS A POINT..BUT THE OTHER PERSON HAS TO AGREE THAT THEY CAN SEE THAT PERSON IN THE PERSON YOU SHOWED THEM..OKAY..I KNOW..IT'S RANDOM..SO MOVING ON....OUR MOST FAVORITE HOTEL IS THE BELLAGIO

                WHICH IS BEST KNOWN FOR IT'S FABULOUS WATER SHOWS!!

I CANNOT EVEN DESCRIBE HOW AWESOME THEY ARE..AND IT'S A TRADITION THAT WE ALWAYS HAVE TO TAKE A PICTURE OF US IN FRONT OF ONE OF THE SHOWS...SO YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU ARRIVE EARLY TO GET A GOOD SPOT.. IT SITS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STRIP..SO YOU HAVE THE BEST VIEW OF WHAT ALL IS GOING ON..ESPECIALLY IF YOU GET A WATER SHOW VIEW ROOM

I MEAN...REALLY...IT'S MY FAVE FAVE FAVE..IF YOU CAN'T TELL...AND YOU GET TO SEE PARIS WITHOUT LEAVING THE COUNTRY..WHICH IS PRETTY COOL!

I MEAN HONESTLY!!! WHERE ELSE CAN YOU GO WHERE YOU WALK DOWN THE STREET AND THERE STANDS AN ESCALATOR..IT'S INSANITY..BUT AWESOME FOR YOUR TRIED FEET...BECAUSE YOU DO A LOT OF WALKING IN VEGAS..SO BE SMART AND TAKE SOME TENNIS SHOES...

WE HAVE BEEN FOUR TIMES..MOST RECENTLY WAS FOR THE WEDDING OF TWO OF OUR BEST FRIENDS...JAMES AND JESSICA

AHHHHHHHHHHHH... GOTTA LOVE....LOVE IN VEGAS..THEY GOT MARRIED ON 9*17*10.... HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY FRIENDS!!!
ONE PLACE WE FREQUENT EVERY TIME WE GO IS MARGARITAVILLE...WE HAVE FOUND THE COOLEST LIL' BAR AREA THAT ONLY SITS FOUR PEOPLE..AND FOR THE LAST THREE TIMES WE HAVE BEEN, WE HAVE HAD THE SAME BARTENDER..TOM...HE IS SOOOOO COOL AND ACTUALLY HAS REMEMBERED US EVERY TIME..WHICH IS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE CONSIDERING THERE IS NOOOOOO TELLING HOW MANY PEOPLE THAT MAN SEES IN A DAYS WORK

BUT WE NORMALLY HANG OUT AND CHAT WITH HIM FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS...DO YOU KNOW THAT TOM WAS THE LEADING GIRL SCOUT COOKIE MAN LAST YEAR FOR HIS DAUGHTERS GIRL SCOUT TROOP :) JESS AND I THOUGHT THAT STORY WAS SOOOOOOO CUTE..HE TOOK THE FORM TO WORK AND ENDED UP SELLING THOUSAND OF DOLLARS WORTH OF COOKIES TO CUSTOMERS..THAT ROCKS!! WHAT A COOL DAD!!
